Liars announce a brand new single, "The Overachievers," out May 25th, 2010. The single includes a Devendra Banhart's remix of the title track as well as two brand new B-sides, "Pleasure Is Boss" and "Only Sometimes." "The Overachievers" is taken from Sisterworld, the band's critically acclaimed fifth album - out now CD and 2CD version with very special packaging.
The second disc of the 2CD release sees each track on Sisterworld remixed and reinterpreted by a host of artists including Thom Yorke, Atlas Sound, Blonde Redhead, Fol Chen, Boyd Rice andAlan Vega (full tracklisting below) while the unique packaging, designed by Brian Roettinger / Hand Held Heart (Grammy nominated and Rolling Stone award winning for his work with No Age) allows a surreal glimpse into the Sisterworld concertina.
Liars will debut material from "Sisterworld"at SXSW 2010. The band plays Thursday March 18th, 2010 at theInsound party at Club Deville (set time: 4pm) and will headline the Billions showcase Friday March 19th, 2010 (set time: 1am). The trio – Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross, will be performing as a five piece at SXSW and their forthcoming US tour with Samuel Bing and Alex Myrvold – both of the band Fol Chen. Fol Chen will be opening for Liars on their Spring 2010 upcoming tour. (dates below)
